pain-scale

Since my last blog post, I have definitely noticed some changes. Although small, and varying, they are still improvements.

If you want to quickly look at key milestones check out the coloured boxes, as I don’t expect the rest is of much interest to most people.šŸ˜Š I have written a summary below.

Summary:

Week 1
15-21 March 2018

Introduced to Redox Signaling Molecules, started taking

  • 30 ml molecule x2 a day, then when I received more product 60 x 2 day
  • Gel applied twice a day

 

Week 2
22-28 March 2018
Feel generally okĀ šŸ˜ŠĀ energy is good and my brain seems clear, and more focused! (sounds weird,Ā  I know)
  • 60ml molecules x3 day
  • Gel applied lots ( gone through tube in a week)
Week 3
29 March – 4 April 2018
Beginning of the week was similar to week 2 generally ok with more energy and clear mind, but as the week progressed, I started to feel worse again
  • 60ml molecules x3 day
  • Gel applied generally twice a day
Week 4
5- 11 April 2018

A lot of set backsĀ šŸ˜£Ā outside my control this week and gradual decline in energy, however the level of pain is defiantly still varying, but more on the high side by the end of the week.

  • 60ml molecules x4 day
  • Gel 3x in 5 minutes, x2 day

 



Details ofĀ  Week 2

(see the previous blog for week 1)
23-24 March
After the first week of the molecules, my arm pain level is definitely varying.Ā Some days it feels slightly better than others, which is good because up until taking the molecules it was constantly at level 8.

  • Ribs feel crushed. Think itā€™s from Lying in my side at night
  • Arm pain level 8
  • shoulder same 6

25 March SaturdayĀ 

Today I decided to up my dosage as I want to see some more consistent results. I know there is a period of 3 – 6 months to see significant improvements but I have been advised if your body is in need of repair, taking more molecules can help
Changed doesage: 3x 60ml

26 MarchĀ MondayĀ 

My arm is really sore today (around 9) and my body is also in a lot of pain todayĀ – maybe the weather – very humid
Applied gel x3 in 5 mins last night and got some relief albeit not for long. I’m running out of product so waiting for my shipment!

Tuesday 27 March

Feel like I have more energy today, hadnā€™t noticed until a colleague said wow you seem better today!
  • Oscar’s eyes are improving yay (see the post about Oscar my cat)
  • Arm shoulder still very painful,
  • Feel generally energised and happier šŸ˜²
  • My arm is so sore today, woohoo products arrive letā€™s slather on the gel. Felt instant relief at first. Doesnā€™t last.
  • Aching lots

  • Wow, myĀ arm is at a 10 tonight. Tried putting more gel on not helped

  • Slathered the gel on throughout the evening
  • Dosage 3x60ml
  • Period coming slight ache
  • Oscar’s eyes seem better again

Wednesday 28 March

Omg šŸ˜² I just woke up feeling so tired ( time of the month) which is very normal, went to get in the shower. And I burst out crying, my pain level in my arm is down to a 1!! I have not had this relief for months, especially after how Painful it was last night. Iā€™m not expecting it to stay as I use it throughout the day, but wow. And my scar is looking less red. Oscars eyes are looking better. Ā Iā€™m actually in a bit of a shock.

    • (update) – at the Physio, IĀ mentioned my pain level has on occasion has varied, I explained I was taking these molecules, he said to continue what you’re doing as at least it’s not a constant pain like it has for months!

Screen Shot 2018-04-15 at 10.35.54 pmMy body feels heavy tired again, I didnā€™t want to get up this morning everything hurts. Having said that my arm isnā€™t too bad around 6. I feel like Iā€™m fighting something. Itā€™s as though the molecules have stopped where they were helping and gone to fight another battle maybe??
I have a stuffy nose and just feel rubbish

 

Dad came for a walk with me, down to the dog park today. The dogs as they do when excited run around and chase each other, but one knocked into his knee which jolted it. He was in some pain, so when we got home I gaveĀ  him the gel, (even if he said “no I donā€™t need it –Ā  I canā€™t use that stuff). Anyway he did 3x in 5 mins, and I asked him how his knee was. Heā€™s like ok. I said really howā€™s the pain. Heā€™s like itā€™s actually okay, grudgingly lol

Wow, how things can change. I was feeling so positive this morning after my Chiro said what he said. It all changed quite quickly.

I’ve just been in aĀ car accident, I feel like I have been hit by a truck (literally was). My neck and jaw are really hurting. I’ve taken more molecules and applied the gel to my neck, and I am off for an early night
